© Getty Images Just one week after taking office, President Biden reached out to Vladimir Putin seeking an extension of the New Start Treaty regarding nuclear arms control, even as he chastised the Kremlin for recent provocations ranging from the Solar Winds cyberattack of federal government computers to the poisoning and jailing of opposition activist Alexei Navalny. That exchange reveals how complex and difficult arms control talks have become in this era of renewed great power competition and rising levels of geopolitical tensions not seen since the darkest days of the Cold War. With the United States and Russia in holding about 90 percent of nuclear warheads in the world, and conducting aggressive modernization of their nuclear arsenals with advanced technology, the future of humanity itself depends on the successful management of such escalating tensions and limiting the new threat posed by these ultimate weapons.
